One thought, which I'm sure is horrible. u-m could have a list of packages in its conf file which contain external payloads, and if one of these packages fails to install, it could essentially ignore that (with a warning, dialog, or setting to control this) and continue on with the installation. It would be kind of automatically retried the next time u-m ran since it would still see that package as needing installation. Not sure what would happen if the failed-to-install package had dependencies though.
